Mr. Woodford to Mr. Day.

Legation of the United States,
Madrid, April 9, 1898.

No. 216.]

Sir: I have the honor to report that I have just telegraphed you in cipher as follows:

Madrid, April 9, 1898.

Assistant Secretary Day, Washington:

No change in situation. Spanish propositions of March 31 have not been modified. It is still possible that armistice may be declared. I will keep you fully advised.

Woodford.

There are rumors this morning of a possible ministerial crisis, but I can not verify them at this moment.

Very respectfully, yours,

Stewart L. Woodford.
